There is one addiction that will remain as your very last addiction to break. One addiction that stands alone and above all others. An addiction that plagues everyone and nobody is spared from this creeping distortion of reality. An imposing force with a complicated detox that takes a tremendous amount of insight in order to break the spell. Some conquer it for good and enjoy this profound sobriety and proudly say: There is no other way to live because any other way would be abnormal and drama ridden. A sobering finger that points at this daunting issue, demanding you to accept this eye-opener data unconditionally.

It’s scary because so few people in the world know what it is or how to tackle it, in fact nobody wants to admit it because nobody wants to believe they have it. The ironic part is they really don’t think this is a problem. Life is all there is and they don’t have to do anything.

A norm exists that has been there since the beginning of time, but the addiction runs roughshod over it keeping it hidden and blocked by life. A norm that’s all natural and free from impurities, its natural state refuses all falsehoods from penetrating and dishonoring its normal way of being. All counter conflict will be kept at bay after conquering this addiction, because this norm is relentless and undeniably all powerful when it wins the higher ground. 

An established norm that will never change but we evolved so far from it, so returning back will be a formidable task. The rehab part will be hard with personal struggles, like all rehabs however the wakeup call for this one will reign supreme. I’m not going to kid you, it takes an uncompromising yeoman’s effort, however the rewards are substantial and worth it.

Nonetheless sobriety is possible and highlighted with a most auspicious event that comes out of the blue bringing you back to normal. A profound and wondrous sobriety that claims the higher ground in its discovery thereby dispelling all false assumptions on its domain.

As intangible as it may sound, it is very tangible and absolutely for real, highlighted by a sobriety that endures well beyond your years here. It comes from a recovered identity that lies deep within you and will be there from now on. All should rediscover this identity because without it you’ll be clouded in doubt and uncertainty. There will be no lasting ideals or peace until this addiction is corrected. We hang on to memories and build a personal identity thinking this patchy collage of random experiences is real, normal and you. We shelve the unfortunate ones and try to forget the bad ones but memories aren’t far from falling off the shelf and dominating your every move. The bad memories are deeply imbedded, interwoven into the realm of your fabricated identity. We’ve been lead to believe that this is normal and the identity we have continues for eternity in spite of that fact that it changes all the time. To think the mind with its revolving ideology and imperfections is allowed in Heaven is a complete joke and impossible.

Very few people in the world truly understand this ancient norm and the addiction that plagues it. Daunting odds for most teachers so they dance around the subject and won’t put a finger on it like I do. They want to help you along slowly instead of laying it on the line, and prefer to leave it up to each individual to figure it out when the time is right.

Not me, I’m not going to enable you by saying non controversial stuff and delay the process because you won’t understand it. In fact the sooner you start processing the information the better, and the devil is in complacency and ignorance, because it’s hard to comprehend. The important part is you have to at least try to understand and keep reading until you do. Then work towards it at any pace you can depending on personal circumstances.  

This addiction is none other than the Souls addiction to the mind and life, this connection has interwoven a new identity to unruly time based conditions that claim hierarchy over your Eternal identity. The mind and its relentless chatter have you believing in concepts and false ideals that only exist for a limited time, prone to change with the social climate. Few have worked to dethrone it, control it, and move beyond it, few will admit to the problem, so the mind goes on doing what it’s been trained to do.

We live with conflict and strife with small windows of complete happiness. We build a shaky foundation of hope which is crumbles with every struggle. Completely disillusioned and addicted we unknowingly fight for this craziness and believe we are in control. after all we painstakingly constructed a personal identity and must protect it. However life keeps changing and you’re either stuck in the mud or you’re adding more ingredients into the mix, and nothing seems to taste well. Lost in the ever changing mirage, we banked on something that’s ambiguous and prone to vanish with the next let down. An identity that was never lasting or strong enough to begin with and gets challenged daly. Not a happy ending for the populous, and yet we go on trucking like this thinking it’s absolutely normal.

Before Awareness is before manifestation, energy or attributes of any kind. When Awareness dawned it becomes Eternal Awareness but there are repercussions when something like Awareness develops out of nothing, which set off a chain reaction from within. Creating another dimension of movement and energy, this is superimposed under, over and outside the only pure Reality. Eternity is there and everywhere, being timeless is spared all the imperfections that come with time and energy. Both dimensions are invisible to each other and Eternity is unaffected, because this dimension is made up of its own properties free from the negative and positive reactions that occur on a grosser level of existence, which is in constant movement. like a vacuum that keeps everything on the outside. The Eternal gave us the infinite universe and Awareness gave us consciousness. Time and light on a particle level starts evolving in a new realm, and these two qualities are expressed in infinite measures. Light and consciousness start forming the basic properties of energy and matter over another dimension. This dimension is developed over another dimensions of flowing energy and consciousness in the same manner over the eternal dimension. All the dimensions are telescopically connected, and all are in need of the other in order to exist, and all formed naturally and not purposely. The only way to experience each dimension is through our telescopic connection, which links the dimensions via consciousness. No rights are denied, because access to and from is always there and available, however we unwittingly hang on to each dimension we’re in and deny our Soul access and it’s supreme realization.

Three dimensions, starting from the Stillness of Eternity to the subtle energy that makes up the 2nd dimension, and then onto the gross particles that make up the universe. Everything takes care of itself, because the cycle developed naturally. It all evolved but anchored in perfection gives it an Absolute foundation that supports everything. Like the cycle of rain we all must turn invisible by loosing our visible characteristics before we are allowed in. There’s no need for any being to intervene for it would upset the natural balance, and besides that no one looses anything, and no Soul really suffers or is lost, it all runs perfectly well and fair. Just the body and mind suffer, they’re always riddled with imperfections anyways and must be discarded. When you’ve had enough of imperfections you will voluntarily retract your vision through the connection. It’s just your perspective that was rearranged, that which you think you’re losing was on loan anyways, and you should do your duty and willingly surrender it.

The collective source of everything is in one solid unchangeable unit and our eternal Home, and what name people give it shouldn’t matter as long as we don’t humanize it. We are but a fraction of the eternal whole, but each fraction makes up the whole thus making you an intricate part of God. You are not human and nether is God. You are a fraction of Eternity that mistakenly identifies with time, and this mistake creates so much confusion in you and the world. Your formless Soul has always been and always will be eternally pure, sitting in the dimension of God. However, for the time being your Awareness and vision is tied up with the other two dimensions of time. Enlightenment and Self-realization is to break free from those dimensional bonds and limitations in order to see the real state of affairs, which is your true nature, your true home, your Eternal Home.

After my own Self-realization I was able to formulate a theory on the Afterlife, or the zone in-between here and Eternity. The most I can do now is tell you how very certain I am about this theory, and if correct this essay will be one of the most important articles you’ll read, for it will be indispensable to all who read it.  

The Afterlife is a transitioning zone under the influence of time, however time here is different. The ethereal nature of this environment lends itself to time very slowly, and light and energy on a subtle level is the very catalyst that propels this realm. This transition zone is a very important step in ones journey where you undiscover the domain of manifestation within another dimension, a sort of dialing down of energy, ego and images, until you see what’s behind them. This 2nd dimension of time is very similar to the dream state you experience every night, and essentially it’s the realm of the mind. This is a personal world of your life, and your ultimate goal is to get past it in order to uncover the other side, which is your Eternal Home, or the only lasting reality that doesn’t perish. It’s largely based on your ability to differentiate and understand your real Self or Soul, in the light of appearances. Your Afterlife is held together by a group of particles, and their ability to hang together for a long time creates another lifespan that will end in another death.

This realm is a self-governed environment that works without any outside influences. If you wait for time in order to slowly dissolve the show you’re asking for death and a lot of unusual repetitive drama. Time based particles stick together through a magnetic charge of positive and negative ions, and your life is what charged it up, but now your attention keeps it going. And, if you follow that lead you’ll be bouncing around between desires (+) and fears (-) in a seemingly endless and uncontrollable circle. Remaining neutral by retracting your attention (the act of meditation) will stop feeding the images, and your persistence at this task will stop the show altogether. The withdrawal of attention causes the particles to release us for the lack of direction and attraction, and it also depletes the resource of energy and light.

The Afterlife is a necessary stop, because you can’t take this identity with you, and your identity to this mind and body manifests fears and desires that’ll play out, and you validate their existence by not opposing them. Eternity doesn’t have images, emotions, issues or imbalance of any kind and your eternal Soul reflects that, but it’s still connected to a new identity and a world it won’t let go of it. You have to voluntarily restore your pure eternal identity by rejecting your new one, so your eternal identity is unveiled after you let go of the new one. Your identity and attention placed on appearances throughout the course of a lifetime has now given you an ingrain habit, and that’s the spell that needs to be broken. Your compelled to participate and your attention focused in and on the images is exactly what keeps the Afterlife alive and well.

The diversion of your attention is the only power you have here. All of your data is stored within a group a group of energy particles that we call the mind, memory chips within a plasma TV, and your stuck right in front it with your attention playing the role of the computer mouse triggering memories. Unable to control much of anything will seem hopeless and endless until you start retracting your vision through meditation. You’re essentially looking away and thereby not identifying with what you see.

The retraction of attention away from the drama and back onto the Soul is your only recourse, this is called meditation. You must understand that meditation is a very important spiritual ritual, and if you are doing it now as a habit it will benefit you here and in the Afterlife.

This personal world of yours is only for you so it has to be relinquished by you, because it stands in the way of your eternal harmony. All of your life’s habits will be part of the show, and family and friends will be pulling you everywhere, you will be freed from pain, hunger, thirst, work, responsibilities and so on, but the mental idea of it will still plague your every move, because it’s a deeply imprinted mind pattern. You need not work or eat anymore for survival, but the habitual idea of it can compel you to continue. It all has to be surrendered because your little world is a product of manifestation, and time based phnomenom will have a limited shelf life. Things that change or evolve don’t have the right properties to exist in Eternity. Eternity has always been a changeless and formless space, for it has to be in order to be eternal and anything that has to do with time must be forfeited.   

Identifying with appearances is the root of all suffering.

This will glue you to this 2d realm for a long time until you continually withdraw your attention from the images, thus refusing its validity and importance, because the next step will have be free of all dispositions. When you have nothing then nothing allows you entry into everything, because Eternity is everything at the source, which is God and the only identity you can keep. The finale dimension of One is ground zero of the ultimate unity, where all attributes are cast aside and you remain as One in the belly of God as the Almighty, which is beyond all opposites and disharmony of any kind.

Those who did serious spiritual research aligned with critical introspection will advance out quicker. Those who had a long and complete life will detach quicker. Those with lucid dreaming qualities and sensitive qualities will be able to tame their dreams in 2nd dimension will graduate faster, if they know what to do.

It all depends on you and your ability to cast off all old habits, desires and fears, or anything that keeps you connected to the Afterlife drama because your interest in the scene is getting in the way of your complete unity with God.

That certain feeling of oneness, which is described by many as unity consciousness is a wonderful moment in the expansion of consciousness. A lovely feeling of unity that is felt through the subtle waves of consciousness, which takes place when the individual suddenly and without warning, moves aside causes their internal perceiving point to retract into subtler waves of energy. This is usually an important event in many people’s lives, that will leave them thirsting for more. This consciousness unity can lead many down the spiritual path (Ramana Maharshi) and it’s indispensable for that reason, and it can happen in natural or unnatural situations, however it should not to be confused with Self-realization or Eternity, because of the feeling aspect.

This feeling of unity can be attained in many different ways and although it may change your outlook it simply doesn’t have a lasting effect, but the thought of it will, and it should inspire you to continue on to higher levels of spiritualism. Unfortunately some get complacent, some look for notoriety before its time, this will stagnate any further growth. Some find this place unnaturally and try to replicate the conditions, through drugs, mental illness they fall into it, but both of these conditions are very misleading. 

Any number of things can bring about this unity feeling naturally or forced, sometimes an event induces it, such as a traumatic experience, a near death experience or forced however the trigger mechanism reflects the conditions making every situation different. The natural way through Religion and Spirituality is the best way to attain this heightened state of free-floating consciousness, the results here should propel you on to deeper states, to continue your pursuit.    

The Evangelist’s are waving arms trying to feel that unity, the Catholics are reciting scripture and prayers, the spiritual groups are reciting mantras and meditating, the fringe groups are using sleep and food deprivation as a tool, and the chemist is doing powerful drugs in order to recapture it, however most are looking within the confines of matter and energy. Just like life the first experience is always the best but after that it’s downgraded and unrewarding. Mental breakdowns can cause this feeling. Looking everywhere and doing anything for that feeling, but that feeling can only be temporary, never repeated in the same manner. Anything that’s based in energy and matter such as feelings are so complex they’re usually a one-hit-wonder and a curse for some. Because the seeker will try to recapture it in any form they can, for they believe that this is ‘it’ and they know how to find it, thus pushing them in the wrong direction.

< p>The natural way through meditation is somewhat similar to the unnatural way in this regard, because trying to duplicate the same conditions that lead to a spiritual experience is impossible, this is the reason why the present moment is ever fresh and ever new. However, there is a stark difference between the two that needs to be pointed out. The natural way propels you further while the unnatural way has the tendency to mislead.

< p>I have fallen for both ways, found that feeling of unity in drugs and naturally through meditation, but I didn’t stop there, because my mentor urged me to let go and continue. We need to heed the advice from those who walked before us and trust in their ability to guide without letting our ego in to inflate or deflate the situation.

The real experience of Self-realization is totally contrasting to any feelings of any type and empty of any type of forms, that will be Self evident when Self-realization happens to you.

Eternity is permanence at the source, only the Self can experience this eternal realm, because energy consciousness is oscillating waves breeding interim opposites, which have a short shelf life, and energy consciousness allows you the ability to perceive these opposites in action. Pure Awareness or Pure Consciousness at the source is beyond all of these new attributes provided by energy, but nonetheless the two are still related. Pure Awareness is still, moving consciousness evolves out of that Stillness giving birth to life and mind. The sacred feeling of unity through the unbiased universal consciousness is a purer source of energy consciousness, subtle, identity-less and free flowing. The real unity in Eternity is feeling-less.
 

This enlightened instructor will guide anyone in their spiritual development regardless of past transgressions and religious ideologies. All that is needed on the student’s part is a willingness to learn accompanied with earnestness to put into practice, so trust and faith is a big part of that connection. The Spiritualist will offer the best guidelines, usually stay away from religious dogmas and religions. They won’t hold anyone to strict spiritual requirements regarding austerities and abstinence, just moderation and evaluation.

They will talk about truth, God, Self, Soul and even Eternity as the central core where all paths lead, and emphasize due diligence at eroding personal and common blocks that obstruct the aspirant’s finale transition to Eternity. The problem has a very common and recognizable root system in manifestation, the teacher has worked through the situation and understands the issue, but always working towards Eternity they will disregard religious situations and treat it as frivolous.

In the opposite direction of Eternity lies a myriad of personal ideologies and attachment issues that the aspirant has to move beyond with guidance from the Spiritualist. The teacher can’t force the student to do anything if the student isn’t willing to do for their self. The priceless information raised in teaching will be understandable by those who are willing to apply themselves in research, introspection and meditation. Earnestness towards that goal creates an internal surrendering that is natural, causes attachments to fall away however if the seeker isn’t sincere then the words will wait patiently for the right moment to trigger them.

The ego is a hard wall to fight against, but the spiritualist doesn’t waver for this is a very common theme, at some point even the most harden and resistant people will verify the words from within the Self. Therefore nothing is lost and eventually the truth is found, so the instructor patiently understands it will always help, a seed for the future. Very few will be able to respond and verify their words during their lifetime.

The process or journey that leads up to this spiritual understanding is different for everyone, as well as the way one teaches spirituality, however the act of surrendering that which you became is the same for all. When the journey is over they will see their unity in the Almighty, this primordial enigmatic experience is the same for everyone. The mind reaching its limit the Self loosing its limits, in the finale outcome of Enlightenment their identity inverts back to Eternity. 

This identity altering event is impactful for the mind, and the mind will express this in many different ways, but words that are depending on context can get misused. The whole gamut of expressions is open for hijacking in order to make a point, and since that point is relatively unknown the words get tangled up in concepts and misunderstood. 

Only time and hindsight seems to validate these lasting words of the teacher, and with help from the truly intuitive people will bring the words into the forefront of spirituality. The instructor will find some serious seekers along the way and have some success in helping, but most people are knee deep in preserving the mind, guarding its ideas and concepts as their primary identity. Not many are willing to pursue Self-realization in the face of life’s adversity, even though just the act of pursuing it will soften pitfalls and smooth the ride.

Most of the spiritualist’s words will have to wait just below the surface for the right moment when the aspirant is ready, or when desperation causes them to reevaluate.

The spiritualist will always continue to the last breath, because they know beyond any doubt that what they speak is the truth, and they are the best person for this position, they also know their words will not fail, but continue to resonate in all who read them.

 

Knowing is an Eternal characteristic of Awareness (God, Soul, Self), and the mind its temporary functioning processor.

There seems to be a stable link between the mind and Knowing while embodied, however our personal link has a limited life span and will severe eventually. This link to the mind first sprouted out of the foundation of Knowing, and with the help from life another form of knowing appears over the Self. This new type of knowing appears over the eternal knowing of God, and hopefully adds to knowing when the autonomous Self emerges.

The big question is; does the added attribute of knowing life intimately will stay indefinitely in all Knowing?

If it doesn’t, then the idea of knowing life is a fading concept that doesn’t last and life is forgotten altogether, because the universe isn’t perceivable in Eternity, consequently if we can’t go back and forth then no freedom and no knowing in Eternity. Then becoming another is a fundamental need that doesn’t add to the equity of knowing, thus making the link between the mind and knowing a very important and necessary for knowing one’s Self. When it is a fading concept, then the notion of an all knowing God doesn’t exist or last, which ultimately means Eternity or God is not eternally aware, and we would not be here to talk about it.

If it does remain, then rebirth isn’t necessary and you take knowing and understanding with you always unless rebirth is chosen, which resets the initiative through a new mind set. This new mind takes precedence over knowing when it’s interested in becoming, and the added concepts throws the old Knower out of Eternity waiting for Self-discovery.

Still, the added understanding of life brings in a new facet of knowing, but it doesn’t necessarily mean anything was lacking or added, despite it being new, because knowing is Awareness, because God knows it exists. Birth reigns in a new Soul, its a sliver of the original source, so its a God giving God exchange in an exchange for life to flourish and develop Souls for Self-discovery. When you recapture your Eternal identity all imperfections are naturally striped away leaving you in a pure state. life is there and your involvement with it will go on as your Self bares witness. Eternity was there long before the universe developed into life, and although Awareness spawned energy its un-perceivable in Eternal Stillness. Eternity is in it’s purest state leaving it changeless and Still, knowing at the core of Awareness is an eternal aspect of Stillness, for knowing doesn’t need movement nor the mind.

When you see fire do you have to keep telling yourself it’s hot? Water wet? Sugar sweet?

No, you just know it, organisms without brains live in a knowing life, it’s the mind that takes things too far and backfires.

In fact, the imperfect mind will always be the roadblock to the satisfied mind, but the Self always satisfied is a treasure for all.

The mind and universe in tandem with the Soul provides all the information needed, and in knowing this you no longer need the mind or universe, but you’ll know its properties.

You cannot know this universe, world, life, body or mind without the intimate link you now enjoy with it. It’s an indispensable experience that adds to knowing and gives meaning to life and the Self, and by knowing the difference you exist as the all knowing Self. This alone is the meaning of life by attaining the knowledge that can only be had through the mind and body, and by finding your way back to Eternity reveals all you need to know.   

During the process of finding your Self, or becoming Aware of your true Self will give you the wisdom and meaning that the all knowing God has.

 

The title of this piece tries to describe our Eternal nature in human words. Although seemingly limited when compared to the attributes we enjoy today, the eternal attribute of Awareness with directed vision trumps anything that comes after this, because of its sustainability and stability.  

An Aware focal point that can be directed by our attention is the nature of the Soul. This focal point can see Eternity clearly but when attached it will identify with the world and body it’s attached to.

Unattached it has perfect vision and understanding of Eternity and God, attached it has an impure vision of reality, which results in an impure understanding of the situation.

The Soul’s focal point can narrow and expand, and be directed by the Self, so this implies control over destiny allowing a Self-determining action in the Eternal state of Being. To be Eternally home in full order of harmony and peace, never to feel or have fear and conflicting emotions again.  

The art of meditation is an expression of our return for eternal control. This shift in attention during meditation leads us to Self-realization

The directed Aware focal point is the catalyst to enlightenment and freedom. It is our only control. It is our Soul and our Awareness directed out that brings life to our vision. The Directed Focal Point can take it all away in an instant, as if to say, we have the power to dissolve the universe from view, we are part of the whole that made it, because of that it naturally made the path to and from. This path back home is the only path available to us, and it must be voluntarily taken. Open to all regardless of the many different avenues which lead to it, the path remains for the solitary Soul to enter empty handed. We can’t take anything with us from here, including the mind and our false identity.

Strip yourself of all mental attachments in meditation and wait naked in the dark surrendering everything to the cause, and know that the path is there, and the proverbial door to your Eternal Home will open.
